No surprise
Guardian: Lloyds set to reveal that Halifax market share in mortgages has plummeted
Lloyds Banking Group is expected to reveal this week that the market share of Halifax, traditionally Britain's biggest mortgage lender, has fallen significantly in the wake of its rescue takeover.
Mortgage brokers said that Halifax has virtually disappeared from the "best buy" tables for loans, overtaken by its long-time rival Abbey, which under Santander has become Britain's top lender.

"overtaken by its long-time rival Abbey,"
how abbey can do this with (presumably) so much exposure to a shot-to-death market like spain I do not know. Is it just that their dodgy accountants are more capable than the others?

And yet the fools still listen to their statistically insignificant house price index!
